Distribuição e custo de antimicrobianos na Atenção Primária

Abstract: Objective: To analyze antimicrobial distribution and costs in primary care of a capital city in the Northeast region of Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional, analytical study, developed in the city of Teresina, in the state of Piauí, Brazil. Data cover the period from June 2015 to July 2016. Descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-Wallis test were calculated to compare the medians of the independent data distributions. Results: A total of 1,651,516 antimicrobials were distributed in 15 different types, with amoxici… Show more

“…Bacterial resistance is a method that results from some events, such as: indiscriminate use of antibiotics and change in bacterial genes, which conclude in structural changes in bacterial cells. [4][5][6][7][8] The most resistant antibiotics were piperacillin/ tazobactam 52 (82.5%), cefixime 44 (69.8), streptomycin 39 (63.9), cefepime 36 (64. Antibiotic resistance may decrease by rational use, taking into account the pharmacological properties of antimicrobials, such as pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, as well as diagnostic tests and antimicrobial susceptibility tests.…”

“…11 The increasing diversity of the mechanisms of resistance and a high percentage of Klebsiella pneumoniae resulted in a reliance on the use of carbapenemic antimicrobials, which are considered the last therapeutic option available for the treatment of serious infections, a fact that has contributed to the increase in the prevalence of KPC, and has been associated with an increase in the cost and length of patient stay in the hospital, often leading to a lack of processing, resulting in complication of the clinical picture, and death. 4,12 This theme has aroused great concern in hospitals and health institutions, as Klebsiellas pneumoniaes carbapenemases are increasingly present in hospital infections. In this study, deaths due to KPC infection were recorded.…”

“…The UBS are subdivided into zones, namely: the east/ southeast area, which comprises 36 UBS; the northern zone, with 25 UBS; and the south zone, with 27 UBS. CAPS are referral and treatment centers for people with psychological distress and are divided into three models, each with its own particularities: 4 (four) CAPS II; 1 (one) CAPS III; 1 (one) CAPS AD (alcohol and drugs); and 1 (one) CAPS i (6) . Data were collected from January to March 2017.…”
